50 wrenches, and half that many $4 wrenches. The number of $3 wrenches was one more than the number of $4 wrenches. How many of each did he purchase?

78 = 1.50x + 2.50x + 4(x/2)) + 3((x/2) + 1))
78 = 4x + 4(x/2) + 3((x/2)+1)
78 = 4x + 2x + (3(x/2) + 3)
78 = 6x + 1.5x + 3
75 = 7.5x
10 = x
Mr. Abernathy bought 10 wrenches at $1.50, 10 wrenches at $2.50, 5 wrenches at $4, and 6 wrenches at $3.

The y intercept. Plz help I’m so confused and I may ask some questions later as long as I don’t have to pay. Thank you so much I
Masteriza [31]

If you are trying to find the y intercept then you have already found it, it is 4. From that point you would then draw the rest of the slope.

Instead of drawing from (0,0) you would go up 4 units and then do rise over run (7/3) to plot your line.

Tracie rides the bus home from school each day. The graph represents her distance from home relative to the number of minutes si
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1. Tracie's bus travels towards her home at an average speed of \frac{1}{2} miles per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph, we see that,

X-axis represents the time (in minutes) and the Y-axis represents the distance from home (in miles).

Also, the graph of the function is decreasing by 1 miles for every 2 minutes.

That is, the distance from home is decreasing as the time increases.

That is, the bus is getting closer to the home.

Further, as the distance is decreasing by 1 mile for every 2 minutes.

Thus, the rate of decrease is \frac{1}{2} miles per minute.

As we know, Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

<em>So, the slope represents the speed of the bus travelling towards home.</em>

That is, 'Tracie's bus travels towards her home at an average speed of \frac{1}{2} miles per minute'.
